What separates TOP GEAR and 5TH GEAR is the chemistry between the shows' respective hosts. 5TH GEAR's hosts are likable and engaging, but TOP GEAR's hosts compliment each others' personalities perfectly. Clarkson is subjectivist, loudmouthed, opinionated, and condescending; Hammond is logical, fun-loving, and often acts as the foil to Clarkson's antics; May is responsible, the voice of reason, and the settler of disputes. Clarkson likes Ferraris, Hammond likes Porsches, May likes Rolls Royces and old, slow cars, and they all like Astons. The dynamic is PERFECT.
